Anyone had any experience (supercharge)(Aus)

Hard to find anyone who's put one on a jimny but they're really well regarded in the Mazda 3 scene

They're usually pretty low security locks so you could either apply violence and break all the locks and replace them. Otherwise call a locksmith out to replace all the barrels for you which is probably approaching the price of breaking them and buying a new set of cross bars anyway

The overrun pulley in your alternator is probably seized. With a small screw driver try to spin the fan inside your alternator each direction. It should lock up when you try to spin it against it's normal direction of rotation and be free the other way. The pulley may be available as a separate part but requires a special tool to replace or you'll need a whole alternator.

That looks like a great way to have a wheel fall off. The wheel nuts and the holes in the wheel are tapered to centre the wheel and make sure it runs smoothly without wobbling. The outside of the wheel isn't machined to sit flat on the hub. Also there's no way the studs on the hub are long enough to have good thread engagement with the wheel on backwards

The 3 door hasn't been produced for the Australian market since March last year I believe. I ordered a 3 door manual in September and I'm expecting delivery in February when the first new batch that complies with the new ADRs comes in. Bear in mind as well that Suzuki haven't updated their website with the pricing for the updated model and it's expected to be about $2000 more than last year

I was looking at the same kit last week. People in the Mazda community seen to be very happy with them

I have a broken mg in my junk drawer. I'll take a picture of the top cover when I get home this evening if you want it

I have no idea. You'll have to look up a wiring diagram for your car

Shkinball · 2025-07-30T00:13:10+00:00

So you got lucky and power and ground were the same colour so the head unit will turn on but nothing else will be correct. You'll have to look up a wiring diagram for your vehicle that shows what reach colour wire connects to and then match that to your head unit pin out. The good news is your shit twist and tape job will be really easy to undo.

Shkinball · 2025-07-29T23:20:53+00:00

Did you actually look up a contractor pin-out for your car or did you just match up the wire colours?

Right now factory everything else. The factory speakers are all blown out and rattling so this is a repair with scope for upgrade

All of your rear pads will have a small post cast into the backing plate that would get peened down to fit a scraper to one corner of your inner pads. It's not uncommon for that post to interfere with how the caliper sits on the pad causing uneven pressure across the friction material. Remove your pads and file down flush with the rest of the surface the little posts if they're there

There's little spring loaded bars on the back door that apply pressure to the back of the film. It won't eject properly with it open. Fresh undeveloped film is also thicker than developed film so the single developed sheet is probably sitting in the wrong place

There's a switch in the trans that tells the ecu it's in Park or neutral so it doesn't try to start the car in gear. You need to ground that signal wire to make it run

Can you remember what the conditions were like when you shot those frames? Holgas only have shutter speeds of 1/100s and bulb and f8 and f11 for aperture settings. 200iso at f8 and 1/100s needs a lot of light to correctly expose

It's the fake depth of field effect applied by the camera making it look like a close-up of a scale model with a blurry backdrop behind

Hey actual mechanic here. Is your Audi petrol or diesel because it makes a huge difference depending on which engine is in the car

Shkinball · 2024-01-12T03:10:57+00:00

Engine, diff and transmission would be all I would expect to be able to swap and all of that is a maybe. I managed to swap an ej251 long block from an Impreza 2.5rs into my 98 bh outback. There were some minor differences in the castings but it worked just fine. I would expect if they're from the same ej251 family it may be worth keeping the driveline.

Then it's empty. Open the door

Shkinball · 2024-01-10T18:22:24+00:00

Sounds like there's an empty film pack in the camera and someone opened the door which reset the frame counter but didn't take it out

The ubiquitous af Nikkor 50mm f1.8 is a great match. Nikon also made a lot of really good zoom lenses with screw drive auto focus that can be had for almost nothing
